A Smart Key by Any Name is Pretty Sweet

A Smart Key is a type of car key that typically uses a proximity signal instead of a standard key to disable your car’s standard security system. Often but not always you can keep your smart key inside your pocket or purse and simply press a button to start your car. Each car manufacturer calls their proximity smart keys something different so here is a list I’ve compiled that names each one and tells what they stand for (as some of them are acronyms).

Audi – Advanced Key

BMW – Comfort Access

Ford Family – Intelligent Access (IA)

General Motors – Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS)

Nissan – Nissan Intelligent Key
